Always use an insulated screwdriver to adjust the switches of the NETC01-ECT. Disposal • To dispose of the NETC01-ECT, disassemble it into parts and components as much as possible and dispose of individual parts/ components as industrial waste. Contact your nearest Oriental Motor office if you have any questions.
• For details about terms and explanations of EtherCAT communication, refer to the operating manual of the EtherCAT master device. • The NETC01-ECT is not compatible with the Distributed Clocks of the EtherCAT communication specifications, so it cannot perform synchronization control via EtherCAT communication.

Read and write of parameters When reading or writing the parameters of the NETC01-ECT, use any of EtherCAT communication, OPX-2A, or MEXE02. • When operating with the parameter mode or copy mode of the OPX-2A, or when downloading or initializing the parameters using the MEXE02, you cannot execute read/write of the parameters via EtherCAT communication.
This section explains how to perform positioning operation and monitor function as basic operating procedures. This is an example of the operating procedure for controlling via EtherCAT communication using the NETC01-ECT. The RS-485 communication compatible product is explained using the compatible mode of the AZ Series built-in controller type.

10-1 Operation mode Up to 16 units of the RS-485 communication compatible product (slave) can be connected to the NETC01-ECT. Set the address number connected effectively. For details, refer to "Parameter" on p.30. If the number of the slave axis connected is changed, cycle the power.
Page 38
• The command is transmitted and received in the order of the address number via RS-485 communication. If the "connection (address number)" parameter of the NETC01-ECT is set to "0: Disable," RS-485 communication to the address number is not performed.
RS-485 communication status The status of RS-485 communication can be checked by the following methods. • Check by the OPX-2A or MEXE02. • Check by the monitor command of the NETC01-ECT. Monitor commands Description The setting status of the "Connection (address number)" parameter can be monitored. ( p.32)
Alarms If an alarm occurs, ALM in the "converter status (3E30h)" of the monitor command of the NETC01-ECT is turned ON (1), and the ALARM LED is blink. The cause of the alarm can be checked by counting the number of times the ALARM LED blinks.
Warning If a warning occurs, WNG in the "converter status (3E30h)" of the monitor command of the NETC01-ECT is turned ON (1). The motor will continue to operate. Once the cause of the warning is removed, the warning is automatically reset, and WNG is also turned OFF.
11-4 Relationship with the RS-485 communication compatible product This section explains how to take measures when a trouble occurred in the system that was connected the NETC01-ECT and RS- 485 communication compatible product. Troubleshooting or remedial action varies depending on the status of the system.
• Are any of the connection parts of the NETC01-ECT loose? • Is there attachment of dust, etc., on the NETC01-ECT? • Are there any strange smells or appearances within the NETC01-ECT?

RS-485 communication error EEPROM error CPU error Do not turn off the NETC01-ECT power while alarm records are being cleared (=while the display is blinking). Doing so may damage the parameter. Refer to p.40 for how to reset an alarm.
RS-485 communication error RS-485 communication timeout Do not turn off the NETC01-ECT power while warning records are being cleared (=while the display is blinking). Doing so may damage the parameter. You can also clear the warning records by turning off the NETC01-ECT power.
Verification Parameters in the OPX-2A can be verified against the corresponding parameters in the NETC01-ECT. If the verification finds that the two sets of parameter match, “Good” will be shown. If the two do not match, “Error” will be shown.
